Tang's dining table

Aunt Chun stopped in a deserted place and said to Li Hong: "The queen has replaced two palace servants who have followed her for five years."

Li Hong frowned and said, "At least I won't replace you."

Aunt Chun shook her head and said, "The queen pinched my face one day and said that I was her inner demon."

Li Hong saw that Aunt Chun couldn't help but tremble when she said this, so he took her hand and said, "I want it again today. I need you to manage my bedroom."

Aunt Chun nodded heavily and said, "Don't be too obvious, otherwise I will die."

Li Hong walked ahead of Aunt Chun and entered Shangyang Palace.

Shangyang Palace is a very large palace, so much so that there are as many as six flying phoenix pillars in the palace.

The vastness of Shangyang Palace can be seen from the number of pillars. Li Hong felt that his footsteps seemed to echo in Changyang Palace.

The queen mother didn't like cramped bedrooms, which was different from all Tang people, and even different from her father's habits. After all, the place where his father actually slept was only a dozen or so steps wide.

No one was sleeping in the main hall, and the same was naturally true for the queen. After passing through the echoing Shangyang Palace, Li Hong came to the back hall, which was the real palace of the queen mother.

Shangyang Palace is a majestic palace complex. When you come here, it is easy to compare it to the Ziwei Palace of your father.

Li Hong never understood that after his mother gave birth to Taiping, she should have been resting in bed for only half a month, but she did not care about her body and insisted on making such a big noise in Shangyang Palace.

Not long after Grandma Chun entered the palace, she took Li Hong in.

As soon as he entered, Li Hong felt the difference.

There was a faint scent of jasmine in the bedroom. The queen mother had always preferred sandalwood in the past.

Wu Mei, with a forehead wipe tied on her forehead, was sitting on a bed, with a little baby girl lying next to her.

It can be seen from the fact that she fanned the baby girl with a small round fan that the queen mother had great pity for the baby girl.

"Mother, you shouldn't fan your sister."

Li Hong came to Wu Mei and took the round fan, and specially closed the gauze curtain to protect Taiping while sleeping.

Wu Mei looked at Li Hong and said, "I know you don't like me messing around with so many things at this time. Your father-in-law also told me about it before. Please tell me, why am I so impatient?"

Li Hong shook his head and said, "My master Yun Chu once taught me something."

Wu Mei said: "What are you talking about?"

Li Hong looked at Taiping, who was sleeping soundly, and said calmly: "Try not to guess about father and mother's thoughts. If you really need to know, just ask directly. Guessing will only do bad things and alienate the relationship between father and son, mother and son. "

Wu Mei said: "In other words, as long as it is a matter between your father and mother, you are going to sit on the sidelines and not help each other, right?"

Li Hong spread his hands and said: "Whether my father is injured or my mother is injured, I am an unfilial son. Your son is an absolutely smart person and will not do such a thankless thing."

Wu Mei said: "You should pick yourself clean."

Li Hong looked at Wu Mei and suddenly said: "Does the queen believe in Taoism?"

Wu Mei glanced at Li Hong and said, "If you plan to persuade me not to have contact with Luo Gongyuan again, don't say it."

Li Hong said with a smile: "My child just wants to cut off this person's head and bury the body in the soil for ten days to see if he can really survive."

Wu Mei sneered and said, "Why don't you try Ye Fashan's wall-penetrating technique and Zhang Guo's immortality technique?"

Li Hong raised his head and looked at the algae roof of the main hall and said slowly: "My kid actually really wants to set up three oil pans in the Luoyang market, wait for the oil pans to boil, and then put Ye Fashan, Zhang Guo, and Luo Gongyuan in and see. Will they survive.”

Wu Mei said: "Get out of the frying pan? A warlock has performed it before. It is not a brilliant Taoist technique."

Li Hong continued to raise his head and said: "When I was in the third year of Xianqing, the master once pressed my hand into a boiling oil pan and fried it."

Wu Mei's eyes immediately became sharp, she looked at Li Hong's hand and said, "Why is your hand okay?"

Li Hong laughed and said, "It's because the kid has thick skin. That's what the master said at that time. In order to test whether all the people in the royal family have thick skin, the kid put Li Si's hand into the oil pan and fried it again. In the end, Yun Jin didn't even let go of his hand and blasted them all. In the end, it proved that we all have thick skin.

Since then, I no longer believe in all Taoism. "

Wu Mei frowned and said, "Is there any fraud involved?"

Li Hong said with a smile: "If the queen wants to see it, I will put up the oil pan and fry it again, so that the queen will not believe it."

Wu Mei said: "What's the reason?"

Li Hong shook his head and said: "You can't tell me. After telling me, I won't be able to deceive those Taoist masters.

The queen mother should not be too credulous in the words of these monsters. When Fu Yi's son broke the diamond horns from an antelope horn, it has been proved that these monsters will do anything to win the favor of the royal family. "

Wu Mei did not answer, but said to Li Hong with a smile: "The East Palace has always been deserted, you can choose twelve palace people to go back."

Li Hong smiled and said, "Can anyone do it?"

Wu Mei looked at Li Hong and said, "Let's talk about it first."

Li Hong pointed at Aunt Chun who was shrinking her body into the curtain as much as possible and said: "I want Aunt Chun."

Wu Mei raised her eyebrows and said word by word: "You don't want so many beauties, why do you want a stupid and ugly one?"

Li Hongdao: "My child is very sure. Aunty Chun makes the bed for the child and folds the quilt. The child feels very at ease. The child can eat the food that Auntie Chun brings to the child with confidence. Aunty Chun watches the child sleep, so the child can sleep peacefully." Stray thoughts.”

Wu Mei said: "Mother Chun, you don't have to think about it. I also want someone to watch me sleep peacefully. Do you really not want those beauties?"

Li Hong sneered and said, "I don't want to follow my father's old path."

Wu Mei said disdainfully: "That is the path of the emperor."

Li Hongdao: "I will follow my path as an emperor."

"Your path to becoming an emperor is to grow vegetables?"

Li Hong nodded and said: "The three emperors and five emperors became emperors and emperors through this. Your children should have no problem doing what they have done again, right?"

Wu Mei was silent for a moment and said: "This is indeed a broad and safe path. Although the results are slower, once it breaks out, it will become an invincible king."

Li Hong laughed and said: "My father is in his prime, and my mother is also in her prime. Therefore, my son must choose this slow-effective but invincible method to be worthy of the nurturing grace of his father and mother."

"Is this the path that Yunchu arranged for you?"

Li Hong nodded and said: "Doesn't it feel like the Tao is natural and comes naturally?

The master once said that in front of the public, all conspiracies and tricks are just passing clouds and cannot withstand the test of time. "

Wu Mei looked at her somewhat proud son and said, "You underestimate everyone in the world."

Li Hongdao: "I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty. I should have the world in mind and treat the world as a child. Even if the child does not have such ability, treating the world as a child is the magnanimity and mind that Li Hong should have."

Wu Mei sighed and said: "You are still too young. Yun Chu and others are in Chang'an and cannot teach you all the time. You have sent all the officials of the East Palace around you all over the world. You should be the weakest at this time. when."

Li Hongdao: "Why is the queen so melancholy? There is an emperor in Luoyang City and the queen is here. Who can hurt me in the slightest?"

Wu Mei looked at Li Hong with an unclear expression and whispered: "You are no longer a child. Now that you are married, no one will treat you as a child anymore.

Don't you feel that since you married Pei, your contact with Chang'an has been reduced a lot?

Pei wants to get the position of crown princess, Yun may not have such an idea. If Pei succeeds, Yun will naturally be dissatisfied.

Although Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian are both great talents in the world, their styles are very different. Yun Chu is short-sighted but meticulous, while Pei Xingjian is ambitious but full of loopholes. Are you sure your choice is correct? "

Speaking of Naha, Li Hong felt a wave of evil anger rising from his belly. He looked at his mother and said, "My father and my mother helped me choose this."

A smile appeared on Wu Mei's face and she said, "Are you unhappy?"

Li Hong was dejected and sat on the carpet under the bed and said, "I actually have no choice."

Wu Mei looked at Li Hong and said, "I want to perform the Yaxian ceremony at the Taishan Ceremony. What do you think?"

Li Hong shook his head and said, "I don't like the child."

"Why?"

"My father doesn't want it, and the court officials don't want it."

"I'm asking for your opinion."

Li Hong spread his hands and said, "My child's opinion is not important. When my mother becomes a Zen master, I will know the answer if she asks me again."

Wu Mei pondered for a moment and said to Li Hong: "Please step back, I'm a little tired."

Li Hong stood up and saluted: "The queen is the most cultivated, my child, please leave."

After saying that, he turned around and left the queen's palace.

Wu Mei looked at the colorful algae top and said to herself: "It seems that he doesn't want to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people."

An old female official came out from behind the curtain and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be a great leader in the future. This is good for the Tang Dynasty, but it is not good for the Queen. In this regard, the Crown Prince is not as good as King Lu Li Xian."

Wu Mei said proudly: "I can't give birth to a son like Li Xian..."

On the way out of Shangyang Palace, Li Hong said apologetically to Aunt Chun: "I want it, but my mother won't give it to me."

Aunt Chun chuckled and said: "It's already very good. His Highness the Crown Prince has already saved this slave once. If you don't want it, the Queen will not value my kindness. If you want it, the Queen can continue to value this slave. How about it, right?" It’s a great thing for slaves.”

"In this case, you can continue to stay here with the Queen Mother. As soon as the Queen Mother lets go, you can come to the East Palace as soon as possible. The lonely king wants you anytime."

After Li Hong gave Aunt Chun a concrete answer, he walked through the beautiful palace crowd again and was about to leave Shangyang Palace. He saw Pei Wanying sitting in the pavilion and saw her being surrounded by a large group of women. Surrounded like a moon.

Knowing that Pei Wanying must be enjoying herself very much at this moment, she didn't go over, let alone say hello.

Just when he was about to step out of Shangyang Palace, he found Li Xian and He Lan Minzhi waiting outside the palace gate, seemingly wanting to meet the queen.

Li Xian and He Lanmin saw the prince coming out and hurriedly came forward to greet him. Li Hong frowned and said to Li Xian: "The queen has just given birth and has not yet given birth. It is what a son should do to meet him at this time." ?"

He Lan Minzhi cupped his hands and said, "It's the humble minister Meng Lang."

Li Hong looked at He Lanmin and said, "If you want to do something, do it openly. Sometimes taking shortcuts will lead to a long way."

Helan Minzhi glanced at Li Xian, who looked as wretched as a quail, sighed and saluted again, "I'm presumptuous."

Li Hong snorted coldly and left minding his own business.

Li Hong walked away, and Li Xian straightened his back. He Lan Minzhi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is really majestic."

Li Xian said indifferently: "He is the prince."

He Lanminzhi smiled and said: "Li Chengqian is also a prince."

Li Xian waved his sleeves impatiently and said, "Please help me finish the things I need to do first, otherwise, they will not be willing to speak for you in the court."

He Lanmin said: "Then it depends on what the prime ministers want me to do."

Li Xiandao: "Do you have any choice? As long as they say something, the Anxi Army will invade Xiaobolu in the shortest time. The little country you have conquered will be like a chicken or a dog in their eyes."
